Returning Student Room Selection Process (Contract Renewal)

We are beginning the room selection process for the 2015-16 academic year and want to know your plans.

Non-Renewing Students

You are not required to fill out the online application if you do not intend to return to campus housing.

Current first year students are required to renew their contract based on the current residency requirement. Rising first year students who do not complete an application/contract will be automatically assigned if an exemption request is not received and approved.

Renewing Students

Renewing Students Please Note:

The application/contract MUST be submitted via computer or tablet.

The application/contract software is not supported by most smartphones.

Information and instructions about this process can be found below. We hope that this process is an easy one for you! If you have any questions, feel free to ask in our direct message box at the bottom.

All students in good standing (academically, behaviorally, and financially) will have the opportunity to participate in the contract renewal process.

If you forget or fail to complete the on-line application form we will presume that you will not be residing on campus and your space will be reallocated. Residents who fail to reserve a space during the prescribed dates will lose their opportunity to be assigned before new applicants.
